BACKGROUND
Double-door laminoplasty is an effective method in treating patients with cervical spondylosis. Many patients with cervical spondylosis experience a set of atypical symptoms such as vertigo and tinnitus, and wish to know if the surgical treatment for cervical spondylosis can also
BACKGROUND
Treating sciatica with epidural steroid injection has been a common practice worldwide. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are an important component of pain pathways.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of epidurally administered NMDA receptor
BACKGROUND
Epidural steroid injection is an established treatment modality for intervertebral disc prolapse leading to radiculopathy. In cases where two levels of radiculopathy are present, two separate injections are warranted. Herein, we present our experience of management of such cases with a
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy and safety of administering low-dose analgesic infusions through cervical epidural catheters.
METHODS
Retrospective review of medical records.
METHODS
Community hospital.
METHODS
14 ambulatory adult patients with chronic cervical radiculopathy due to posttraumatic
Objective. Agmatine, decarboxylated arginine, was shown in preclinical studies to exert efficacious neuroprotection by interacting with multiple molecular targets. This study was designed to ascertain safety and efficacy of dietary agmatine sulfate in herniated lumbar disc-associated radiculopathy.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the incidence of complications of fluoroscopically guided caudal epidural injections.
METHODS
A retrospective cohort design study in which chart review was performed on patients, who presented with radiculopathy and received fluoroscopically guided caudal epidural steroid
A cervical transforaminal epidural injection of anesthetic and corticosteroids (CTFESI) is a frequently used procedure for cervical radiculopathy. Most cases of pneumocephalus after an epidural block occur when using an interlaminar approach with the loss-of-resistance technique. The authors present
Epidural steroid injection is a very common intervention in the treatment of low back pain and sciatic symptoms. The most common complication for epidural steroid injection is transient headache with or without identifiable dural puncture. Other complications have also been reported, including
Background A considerable number of patients with cervical spondylosis complain about one or multiple atypical symptoms such as vertigo, palpitations, headache, blurred vision, hypomnesia, and/or nausea. It remains unclear whether surgical intervention for cervical spondylosis can also effectively
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of total disc replacement (TDR) for the treatment of cervical spondylosis associated with atypical symptoms.
METHODS
In this retrospective study, patients with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy related to cervical spondylosis that were treated with TDR were
BACKGROUND
Central nervous system involvement is a serious complication of brucellosis with various incidence and various clinical presentations.
METHODS
Hospitalized patients in University Clinical Centre, Clinic for Infectious diseases in Prishtina, with laboratory-confirmed brucellosis, were
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the incidence, topography, and radiologic and pathophysiologic findings of ipsilateral sensory symptoms in the limbs/body in patients with lateral medullary infarction.
METHODS
Between 1994 and 2001, the author identified 12 patients with lateral medullary infarction (6.7%
Study design: Prospective randomized controlled equivalence trial.
Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes between patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy that received
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension headache is an uncommon disease that resolves spontaneously in most of the cases and in a short period of time. The initial treatment should be symptomatic. In some patients the symptomatology is extremely disabling, and in these cases both the diagnosis and
Ziconotide intrathecal infusion was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of intractable severe chronic pain. Patients with neuropathic pain make up a significant population among those who experience chronic pain for which there are less than optimal
